Taking Flight (click to enlarge)The purpose of that walk, along with the exercise of course, was to find some Lady Slippers – they bloom far back in the woods. You have to hunt for them. I made sure that I had good sneakers and bug spray! I mention the bug spray, lest you think PEI is perfect – we do have mosquitoes especially in June in the woods.

One more cool picture – I was on my way back home when I saw this tiny creature.

It landed, very obligingly, on a spruce branch and I was able to click the shutter before it fluttered off again. I’m trying to identify it and I think that it is a Variegated FritillaryPearl Crescent (Thanks Paula!)
